In the area of "politically motivated crimes (PMK) on the left", the increase was particularly high at 172%, specifically 109 offenses (2023: 40). Experts view this with concern. "With Israel-related anti-Semitism, one topic has simply become much more prominent in the left-wing extremist scene since October 2023," explains extremism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler, Director of the Counter Extremism Project in Berlin, in an interview with Ippen.Media's Münchner Merkur. Although this form of anti-Semitism has always existed in some left-wing extremist circles, "it has become the dominant theme at times since October 2023." Meanwhile, the number of violent crimes committed by right-wing extremists has risen. Experts like Schindler have been observing this phenomenon for some time. "The propensity for violence in the right-wing extremist scene is increasing significantly," says Schindler.

CEP Webinar on September 17, 2025 | Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler

Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler: Transnational Islamist Extremism and Terrorism / Antisemitism
Senior Director, Counter Extremism Project (CEP)

On September 17, 2025, CEP held a webinar “Transnational Connections Between Antisemitic Extremist and Terrorist Actors." This is  the first webinar of a three-part series focused on highlighting various aspects of the role of antisemitism in the mobilization to violence by extremists and terrorist actors, supported by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany.

This webinar explores how antisemitic actors from different ideological backgrounds—right-wing, left-wing, Islamist, and foreign ideology movements—interact across borders and ideological lines to amplify antisemitic narratives and actions. We analyze the mechanisms and platforms facilitating these transnational linkages, including coordinated protests, shared symbols and slogans, and digital propaganda networks. Drawing from cross-country findings, the webinar highlights how seemingly distinct extremist milieus converge around antisemitism as a unifying narrative and tactical framework.

Shapiro’s address to the Eradicate Hate Global Summit was the first time a politician in office addressed the conference in its five-year history. A day earlier, the summit announced a collaboration with the Counter Extremism Project on the Auschwitz Research Center on Hate, Extremism and Radicalization, in which the former residence of the concentration camp’s commandant will be converted to a center combatting extremism and violence.

CEP Managing Director Daniel Roth writes: “For years, a dangerous myth has taken root in progressive discourse that the worst excesses of antisemitism were a problem of the far right. As philosopher and author Sam Harris asserted on a recent episode of his Making Sense podcast, “If you’re talking about antisemites who actually want to kill the Jews now, you’re not talking about the far left.” Current events have shattered that illusion.”
